In a previous life, I was involved with the smart growth initiative in Ontario. It was a provincial initiative to travel the province to learn about growth issues. The simple conclusion was that there was too much growth in some areas, which created problems, and not enough growth or even negative growth in other parts of the province, which created other problems.
Ontario's a big place. If you live in Kenora, you're closer to Calgary than you are to Toronto. We heard from communities in northern Ontario that we need immigration, we need to have proactive immigration. These are communities filled with Polish Canadians and Italian Canadians and Ukrainians and Finns and many other people who came here as recently as the fifties, sixties, and seventies. They're saying, we're pro-immigration, we want immigrants, we want people who'll come and stay in our communities.
Is that the type of thing a provincial nomination program could address?
